As has been said numerous times, yes there are workarounds, but why should we have to do that to get a usable workplace and it is a weak workaround at best.

Yes it makes the type larger, but it makes the spaces and headers larger also. So you end up with a small view of the page, especially noticable when in reply mode. You then end up doing a lot of scrolling.

It is a kick in the gut that Adobe does not take into consideration points raised by the main helpers on these sites. Where is the input for Adobe to change in the first place?

Any web designer will IMMEDIATELY explain that expecting users to change standard behavior of the browser so your site specifically will be functional is ludicrous. Adobe, being the leader of creative industry creation applications, should hold themsleves to at the very least a standard used by every other web designer on the planet.

10px, bold, light blue, text would not be recommended on ANY site if the text is expected to be read. And in a discussion forum it's nothing short of insulting and reflects contempt for the users. So many of Adobe's help lines are relieved by the fact users can post in forums for solutions. If one can't read the text.. why bother ever even looking at the forums?

It isn't just the text size and spacing within the discussion lists that got tweaked. The discussions themselves have an excessive amount of leading (a.k.a. line-height) compared to the original redesign.

I have noticed the same thing. While it does not look "refined," it might be helpful when viewed on some devices. That one, I can live with, but if other changes are enacted, someone might want to address it.

Looks OK in the editor, but then, when posted, the leading seems to increase a few points.
